Ironic considering the article just reeks of AI. - AI loves to use "consumers" instead of just saying people or Americans - "You’ve spent time and budget on it, yet your audience can’t name a single company they think is doin

If you switch IPs you can usually get a message or two through during these outages. This has been a consistent issue with Gemini for the past few months, but has increased in frequency and duration of outages, especially since 3.5. Early o

On the other hand, seperating concerns by process boundaries leads to more secure, composable and stable code. By not reinventing the wheel, you avoid a whole class of problems. Of course a stable API or library might be better, but conveni

The difference is apple doesn’t let you modify your device to use other services. Their contractual obligation goes beyond the service itself. That’s why EPIC won this case.

The reason I brought up roomba wasn't to talk about Lidar or vision necessarily. It's more a story about how the first-mover in a technological space became entrenched in what works and became resistant to investing in newer techn

A fun anecdote - a lot of people may remember Roomba from forever back with their automated little vacuums. Roomba's market share declined significantly because they failed to adopt Lidar technology as quickly as their competitors, ins

Ignoring 95% of a uniform market to target the 5% of users who all have niche and conflicting preferences is a ridiculous strategy for stability, growth, and profitability.

Only the first letter being case-sensitive is a major strike against readability, one of four major pillars. While I’m sure the Nim developers are probably used to it by now, it just seems like a bad design decision Nim is probably burdened

I agree that sometimes linters can enforce code styles that are more of hassle to deal with than offer any real concrete gain to new developers. But I disagree that only senior developers should use linters. Especially if you are learning a

I agree with you, and I think you have misunderstood the nuance of the parent comment. He is not letting google "off the hook", but rather being tongue-in-cheek/slightly satirical when he says that the reality is too troublin

This is 4th bot I’ve seen today. Before today, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bot on HN, or at least a bot this transparent.

The idea that “attention is all you need” here is a handwavy explanation that doesn’t hold up against basic scrutiny. Why would Google do something this embarrassing? What could they possibly stand to gain? Google has plenty of attention as

Code generally does not enter the YouTube code base without a lot of review namely (1) performance tests and (2) code reviews from multiple teams. Lines like this almost certainly get flagged/increased scrutiny. It would be very hard t

Yep, and I love writing Scala as much as I hate writing Java, but I wouldn't say its maturity is in the same league as Java, C/C++, etc.

Yea, I don't imagine native stream parallelism will help when CPUs are already loaded. Presumably you're using Spring or Rx, in which case you probably can leverage reactive streams and/or Managed Blockers, but thats really j

Starting to program with Java streams is weird because you are utilizing functional constructs in a language that historically had little notion of them. When I first started using them it felt worthless when I could achieve the same thing

OpenMP is not a language? You can take any language and add libraries to achieve a specific goal, my point is that Java streams are first-class citizens compared to other matured programming languages that also enable leveraging other aspec

Does C# allow you to convert a sequential stream into a parallel stream, or do streams have to be parallelized when initiated? Genuinely asking, I do not know C#

by manjalyc 3y ago
My point was that it is built into Java streams and requires 0 extra configuration or work on the programmer's end. Not that you can't parallelize in other languages.

A lot of comments here focus on the readability, conciseness, and expressiveness of Java streams compared to other languages. IMO they are missing the point and are just reiterating the same complaints everyone has about the Java language i

Yes, there are a lot of reasons to homeschool. And I don’t want to undermine your idea, but the vast majority (by far) of people that homeschool do so because of disagreements with secular education. Public schools are an increasingly polit

Given the materials and methods involved it really isn’t that dangerous. With basic precautions I’d say go for it, worst case is honestly just blowing a few hundred bucks. If this pans out, there will definitely be some do it yourself tuto
